PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED STRESS CRACK AT STRAP BUTTON IS ONLY REAL FLAW. .."

for that much money I'd prefer no "PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED STRESS CRACK AT STRAP BUTTON" at all.

Greed

It's the American way.

What do you think...gravity+floor= "stress" crack?

[guitarchuck]

I know I would never pay that much for a guitar, because a could buy quite a few very nice guitars for that price. ( still couldn't afford that even) But, the guitar in question here is a very rare guitar, one that you can go years without seeing one for sale. One sold quite a few years ago for $8,600.00 if I remember right and the guy that bought it has since sold it for $15,000.00. I would guess this guitar on Ebay will sell, super tough to find at any price.

[Roger Pratt]

Uh Chuck......Weren't you the guy that sold it? If memory serves me correctly.

[thenorm]

I believe it went from Chuck to a poster in Germany (I forget his name now) and that guy sold it for superbucks after having it for a year or so.

Yep, I was the one.

You're right Norm, us Americans aren't the only one's that make big bucks on stuff.

I think the one listed on Ebay right now is priced about right, even though most folks wouldn't spend that kind of money on a guitar.

[PhilHunt]

Hoo-wee!!!!!!!!! $7,999 you've got to be kidding??? Wonder how much those sold for originally? Gimmee a CE anyday.

[Skip]

I'd have Kirk Sands build Me a custom CEC to My specks before I'd pay that kind of money.

[Phil Waldron]

I have a Chet Atkins CE and had Kirk Sand build me a "custom" guitar. Yes, you will pay more for it but the quality and playability are incomparable. It has to be the best guitar I have ever owned.
